Patient's question:
When my daughter was born, her weight was less than 2,500 grams (2,450 grams), so the hospital did not give her the hepatitis B vaccine or the BCG vaccine. The doctor said that once her weight reaches 2,500 grams, the community health center would administer the vaccines. However, 15 days after discharge, she was admitted to the hospital again due to pneumonia and other infectious diseases, and it is expected that she will be discharged only after her full moon.Expert, how should vaccination be handled in her case? I know that the BCG vaccine can be given within three months, but what about the hepatitis B vaccine? Can it be given after her full moon? I heard that the hepatitis B vaccine requires three doses—so what should we do???
Looking forward to your reply. Thank you very much!!!
Doctor's answer:
The hepatitis B vaccine is administered within 24 hours after birth for the first time, and the BCG vaccine for newborns is given 1 to 2 days after birth. In China, it is stipulated that children must complete one dose of BCG vaccine, three doses of oral polio vaccine, three doses of DTP vaccine, one dose of measles vaccine, and three doses of hepatitis B vaccine within the first year of life, which is called basic immunization. Child health issues have always troubled parents. When treating this disease, general treatment should be considered. Parents can only use professional methods to help children recover from the disease as soon as possible, so as not to affect their growth and development. Therefore, it is hoped that after a child's illness occurs, parents must help them recover as soon as possible.
